Podcast 26 – Photography Project Advice from Lizzi Standing

This week’s episode comes courtesy of a recent post from Lizzi, about the new photo project she’s working on this year. I highly encourage you to check it out, not only because it’s a good read but because today’s episode is a bit of a follow-up discussion.
